Sanibel, FL, November 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Veterans burial benefits and Veterans funerals have never been easier to access. Veterans & Family Memorial Care announced today the launch of www.FreeVeteransBurial.com, the nation’s only portal for Veterans to register for their Free Burial Benefit guaranteed by the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. This program enables veterans to take advantage of their most lasting benefit from the VA, Free Burial in a national cemetery. A survey by the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs says that over one third of the nation’s 27 million veterans are not aware that this benefit exists.

Mark Davis, President & CEO of Veterans & Family Memorial Care a division of ValMark Memorial Care, Inc. said, “Our mission is to educate and inform veterans and their families about their Free burial benefit guaranteed to them by the VA. Taking advantage of the free burial program saves families thousand of dollars on final arrangement expenses.” The VA provides the gravesites for either traditional burial or cremation burial, opening & closing services, furnishes a headstone or memorial marker and a flag and provides perpetual care, all for Free. The VA does not provide funeral or cremation arrangements, transportation or military honors, and graves cannot be reserved in advance through the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs.

Once a veteran registers online their request for free burial is immediately forwarded to the VFMC Certified Provider in their area.
